Datsun Z-Series ZX (1983)
for sale
Price: US $8,000.00
Price: US $8,000.00
1983 Datsun 280ZX Coupe, Non-Turbo. Last year of the 280zx! I would say it's 97% originally restored. It has a few upgrades, but not many. It does, however, have the rare Leather & Digital Pkg option. Leather seats were beyond repair, but I found a super nice set of cloth seats from another 83. Digital gauges work exceptionally well! It has 2.8Liter Inline 6 N/A, 5-speed, PW, PDL, PM (heated), Cruise Control, PS, PB, T-Tops and the original bags they go in! It even has the original spare tire, jack and other parts that have been unopened. I've been an enthusiast of the Datsun Z cars since the 80's! I bought the car in April 2014, put less than 300 miles on it and drive it a few times a month. I have most of the receipts for the parts I've replaced, but I do have all pics on a CD. The car might as well be new, as much as I've done to it!

I have several extra hard to find/expensive parts that go with the car, such as: Another AFM, a pair of nice tail lights, the outer window door dew wipe thingys, several extra underhood relays, small misc parts, etc.
It runs, drives and handles amazingly! Uses no oil, doesn't leak or smoke at all! It looks 100% better than it did the day I bought it! I have a clear, clean title for it and there is absolutely
NO RUST
in the car! Like I mentioned above, I have the majority of the receipts, but have misplaced some of them... You can look at the pics from then to now and tell what's been changed replaced. I do, however, have a ton of progress pictures, that I will put on a CD, for the new owner. I have various manuals that go with the car. As well as, the owners manual and dealer brochures. I know the Air Conditioning doesn't work, (as the compressor is locked up and one of the hoses has been removed). The front grille is there, but there's a small part broken, but it's hard to notice. The factory digital clock in the dash doesn't work either.
Before you stop reading and think that's too much, just think of everything I've done to it and all the documentation I have? I'm being as honest as I can about the car. Remember, I'm an enthusiast and hate to sell it, but we need the money more than the car at the moment... This is a sound, totally rust-free, fun little car to drive, now that I've replaced everything on it! I know this car from top to bottom, front to rear, inside to outside! I'm being as honest as I can about it, as I believe these are the only issues that are wrong with it? The interior is 100% in tact, no missing pieces!
Reason for sale: Wife and I need the money, more than the extra car at the moment.
Feel free to ask any questions? Reasonable offers accepted!
I will not ship! The car is located near Huntsville, Alabama. I would feel 100% fine with driving it anywhere!
